Celebrating Bhutanese New Year, Thimpu, Bhutan

This really takes me back there. I can remember the cool, thin mountain air, the smell of woodsmoke everywhere, ...

This is in the National Stadium, in the capital city, Thimpu.

It looks like a fait accompli to have videos here on Flickr .
I joined this site because it was a pure photography site dedicated to still photography and so I will leave the site for the same reason. I'm going to wait a little while to see if vids abound and if so I'll simply remove all my photos and not sign up and repay when my subscription comes due.
It doesn't look like there is any way to contact the managers of Flickr so it's very simple - if Flickr looks like it will be over-run I'm outta here!
Thanks,
Vince

beautiful! I have never been in Bhutan, but this is my big dream to go there once..
I also make small videos with my camera, when I travel - just to catch the atmosphere, music, language. I have nothing against video in Flickr, as long as they don't show porn or violence.
Your clip is really beautiful...
maybe you want to see mein - dancing pilgrims in Lhasa, Tibet?

I just read recently that Bhutan people love archery and I find it interesting to see that one of the dancers is carrying TWO bows and the man who walks in front of the camera has an archery bow too.

Thanks folks.
@bluemarla, yes, there was an archery tournament going on just behind me. See the photos in one of my Bhutan sets www.flickr.com/photos/ishida/sets/72157594526 733357/

I was amazed that they could hit the target (I guess about 12 inches wide) from something like 525 metres!
